Hopefully I can post these pictures, but the car is orange. The hood will be done by Wed.

Thanks Apache....

Let's take a poll, stripes or no stripes?

If I go with stripes, it will be the "Z" style stripes....

but then I was thinking about just letting it be and maybe a thin black pinstripe like what the factory did.

Thanks guys...

As for left over orange, actually there is some, but I don't think it's worthy enough to be used on a Nova.... :thumb:

NO comment on the rearview comment, I'm pleading the 5th.

Yes it is bright :smt004 and I'm still trying to get used to it but I like it and can't wait till the hood is pinned on this week.

I'm very pleased with how it came out.

I am not really sure what the question is, but I am pretty sure the answer is Big Block.

I was thinking white but did a Photoshop job of it and with the black vinyl top, it just didn't look right.

I thought about the hockey stripes, but I still really like the "Z" stripes.

But I was just down working on it and it looks good just as is, so I have till the spring time to figure this out.

Hey Hitch, if you want to walk out here PA, I'll let you drive it home to test it :thumb: Can't drive two cars home.

If anyone cares, the paint is from TCP Global, single stage urethane and only cost $120.00 for a gallon of paint and a quart or hardener and activator. The gloss black I got only cost $35.00 for the quart.

Next after it all done, I'm going to add the vents on the quarter panels and wheel molding.

I know it's not a Nova, but hey, at least it looks good.
